Math 153

Practice Final

You have 3 hours to complete this practice final. Dont freak out, and approach each
problem carefully. If you get stuck, make sure to move on to the next problem. You MUST
show all of your work and state your reasoning, unless instructed otherwise. You do not need
to simplify any numerical answer (such as reducing fractions) Good luck! =)
1. Mark each statement as True or False (remember true means always true). No need
to show work.

(a) If an 0, then
an converges.

(b) If an 0 for all n and

an converges, then

a2n converges.

(c) Let f (x) be represented by a power series with interval of convergence I. Then
the power series for f 0 (x) also has interval of convergence I.

(d) The polar curves r1 = sin (4) and r2 = cos (4( 8 )) have the same shape.

(e) The parametric equations x(t) = sin t and y(t) = cos t trace out a circle counterclockwise.

(f) In R2 , let ~a = ha1 , a2 i and ~b = hb1 , b2 i. Then ~a ~b = a1 b2~i a2 b1~j.

(g) In R2 , ~a ~b 6= ~a.

(h) There is exactly one plane containing two non-intersecting lines.
